Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 30

"First of all, I know everything about Loren." Geo began, leaning against a wall. I stood in front of him and tried my best to control my excited but nervous breaths.

"I'm so sorry Geo." I sighed. I opened my mouth to add something else but Geo interrupted.

"You're too nice Lucy." He chuckled, his gaze focused on his finger going through a strand of my hair. "I don't think I'm ever going to understand how I could be such a jerk to a nice girl like you."

I smiled and stared at the floor. I hope I wont regret me forgiving him in the future, but right now I don't see why I can't.

"Will you go out with me?" He asked, looking as nervous as ever. I smiled but then awkwardly rubbed my neck with my hand.

"I don't know." I whispered, looking up at him. Geo's smile left, and instead of him sighing and staring at the floor, he grabbed me and hugged me.

"G-Geo..?"

He didn't reply. I went to look at him and saw a tear role down his cheek. He then let go, and looked at my lips. I couldn't help but look back at his. I knew that I shouldn't be doing this, I knew that I should just move on.. but I couldn't help myself. He grabbed my chin, gently lifted it slightly up and pulled me closer.

I hate saying this but I enjoyed it. A part of me wanted to slap him, but I just couldn't. I couldn't let go. It was like I was under some kind of spell.

When we finished, Geo's eyes were bloodshot and I wouldn't be surprised if mine were too. He awkwardly laughed, and so did I.

"I'm sorry Lucy." He said. He took a deep breath and managed himself to not cry anymore. I did the same. "Will you come to the tlg tour with me?"

"Yes." I smiled. Geo smiled back but didn't look excited. To be honest, all my excitement had left. I knew that going to the tlg tour will be one of the best experiences of my life but I just hate leaving my friends. And, if my mum finds out.. she'll track us down. 

"Another thing." Geo added. I rolled my eyes but smiled. "My mum chucked me out and.. I kind of have no where to stay."

"Geo.. you know I can't do anything about that." I sighed. I felt so horrible saying that but it was true, there's no way Ariel is going to let him stay with her. "But.. if you're sleeping on the streets, I can join."

Geo looked at me with wide eyes. "Did you just say..?"

"I don't want you to be alone." I said with a smile. I then grabbed his hand and pulled him to Ariel's. "Let me get some stuff first."
